positive focused rallies

The MUAB format focuses on children, adolescents, young adults, and adults. Our rallies provide a family and community approach through music, dance, motivational speakers, and live performances. We provide examples of the real world using testimonials and self-esteem building approaches through healthy self-image techniques. MUAB teaches the different forms of bullying and how to identify them, while resolving bullying conflicts. Our rallies motivate students, parents, and community leaders to make a difference in all aspects of life.

A SCOPE OF OUR RALLIES

suggested programs

According to the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry: Cyber Bullying is the number one form of bullying in the United States, suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death among youth, and bullying is one of the leading causes of suicide among youth. MUAB have a vision, plan, and goal to put a stop to all forms of bullying (Physical, Cyber, Verbal, Psychological Social, Racial,and Sexual), in America by decreasing bullying and suicide rates, through innovative bullying prevention techniques, and anti-bullying rally tours throughout the United States.

During a MAN Up Against Bullying™ Rally: innovative self-esteem building activities are utilized to bridge families together.In today's society, there are youth who may never have the opportunity to spend quality time with a parent or mentor who is a positive reinforcement. Statistics show that youth are looking for affection through perfect body images, gangs, drugs & alcohol, bullying, violence, social media, and television. Without positive reinforcement youth will result to looking for affection and self-esteem in negative outlets, which could carry into adulthood. During this activity boys/fathers receive a haircut and learn to put on a tie, while girls/mothers receive make-overs and a tiara.

If words kill, words can certainly heal. During the WORDS KILL activity, MUAB participant receives a pledge card to complete during the rally. The pledge card is dropped inside of a casket to represent putting bullying to death. This riveting innovative activity teaches the importance of utilizing words positively and wisely. Ultimately, the goal is to reverse negative words into positive words, to heal instead of kill. Often utilized by most bullies: The word UGLYis transformed into a positive acronym (U) (G)otta (L)ove (Y)ourself.

It’s important to be yourself! A fashion show is implemented to display individuality. Each MUAB participant designs and models their unique clothing style, which promotes individuality and the importance of being "YOU" and LOVING YOURSELF. The fashion show also teaches why it's important to stand out and set your own trend, as well as the acronym for B.U.L.L.YBecauseULackLovingYourself.

MAN Up Against Bullying™ created the "Save a LIFE, Hug a BULLY"™ campaign, to promote LOVE and end HATE. Everyone wants to BASH the BULLY, often forgetting that the BULLY is hurting too. HURTING PEOPLE, HURT PEOPLE.Instead of bashing the bully and continuing to allow HATE to spread, at our rallies we use LOVE to alter the negative effects of bullying. Utilizing/displaying LOVE saves the BULLY, and the person being BULLIED from VIOLENCE and SUICIDE.

Let's teach others how to LOVE their self, and decrease HATE. Help us "Save a LIFE, Hug a BULLY."™

During the MUAB Empowerment Hour motivational speakers/performers from across the U.S. come together to share their powerful testimonies of overcoming bullying. Each speaker displays their own style providing the audience with real life experiences of the negative effects/consequences of bullying. What makes this portion of MUAB unique, is that each motivational speaker/performer has either been bullied, or have been a bully. The Empowerment Hour leave attendees wanting to make a difference in their schools/universities, communities, and workplace. It also provides the power to stand up, speak out, and man up against bullying .
